« on: 01 December 2008, 19:09 »
Sorted my thermostat out but car is still losing power sometimes, other times it starts making a dud dud dud dud noise well that kind of thing.  But it only makes that noise when accelerating and when it loses power and then it will start running fine again can anyone help?

You get one fault say a coilpack, then it causes other things to throw up because the emissions are wrong ect ect.

What codes do you have?
